Hello crafters and welcome to a new challenge over at Fussy and Fancy.

We think this fortnights challenge will really get your creative juices flowing as we're challenging you to try out a new technique. We all have a list of things that we've wanted to try for ages and never found the time for haven't we? So why not pop on the kettle and make yourself a cuppa, treat yourself to a biscuit and pop over and have a look at the DT's card for inspiration and pick something off your list and enter it into our challenge. You never know you might be in with a chance of winning!!

I've wanted to have a go at shrink plastic for ages and bought some ages ago, but always put off trying it so thought what better time to give it a go! I did have a few misshapen stars to start off with but I think I mastered it in the end :-)

I really struggled with this one and spent sleepless nights wondering what I could do! It wasn't until my partner saw the image that I was working on and said "she looks as though she's sitting on something, why don't you put her on a swing?" Well that's it sorted now, he's my designer now and no more sleepless nights lol :-)

Here's the card that I've created for your inspiration (with the help of my designer) and the image has acetate behind it which has been made into a spring so that the swing goes backwards and forwards. Hope you like it!

It's challenge time again over at Fussy and Fancy and this fortnights theme is "Back to School". I know many of you have had the pleasure (oops did I say that?) of packing your little kiddiwinks back off to school or even taking them there for the first time, but I can safely say that those days are a long and distant memory for me as my daughter is coming up for 21 this year!! Anyway at least with more free time on your hands you can get more crafting done eh?

Here's my card for some inspiration:

It's time for another challenge and unfortunately our last challenge over at:

Now this months challenge - white on white with the addition of a ribbon (which is the only thing that can have colour) - was a real challenge for me and I really struggled, but I got there in the end - see what you think!

Welcome to my crafty world, the place where I go to get away from it all and indulge myself! Some people go for chocolate or wine, but with me it's more papers, stamps and an inky mess. I hope you'll find something inspirational on your trip around my blog and even better if you want to come back for more.
xx Happy crafting and glittery hugs xx
